Homemade Coconut Milk & How to store them for longer use !!!

Coconut milk is extracted from the coconut meat & water. This milk is sold canned for use in Thai & Asian Cuisine or for flavouring desserts. Homemade coconut milk is soo easy to make & taste great in smoothies, curries and kheer. We can store the coconut milk for 4 days in the fridge and for longer used I generally freeze it. Coconut milk is a nutritious beverage for kids as well.
